The Once A Month Swim Workout
Sunday, August 03, 2014
It's been way too long without swimming. Almost a month! Oy! I set my alarm this morning to go swimming but pressed snooze way too many times. Finally at 7:17 I got out of bed put on a swim suit and just headed to the pool. The gang on Sunday meet up at 7:30am and I was the first at the pool. I thought maybe they no longer got together. I was about to go home and back to bed then one arrived.

Nothing great but without swimming for almost a month I'm beat. The pool water temp was in the high 80's F. The F stands for FUCKIN' HOT! But I got in 2,000 yards. That is more then I swim on my own when I get to the pool for lunch hour swims.

July was just a sad month! 4,000 yards for the month basically. That's like one long swim workout. May was the only descent month this year. I know August won't be great. Oh well. At least I'm swimming sorta and some of the time.
